“Here are all the title deeds,” Xiao Jinfeng said to Mu Shuyu.

Looking at the title deeds on her hand, Mu Shuyu smiled brightly, “With these deeds, we may need only hard working to get a secure life.”

But Xiao Jinfeng showed a wry smile and said, “My third brother owns twice as much farmland as I do, and my eldest brother owns four times as much.”

Mu Shuyu tapped him on the shoulder and said to him, “Well, we can’t tend too much land, I think that’s enough.” Though Mu Shuyu felt kind of aggrieved at Xiao Jinfeng’s being unfairly treated, after all, those were the affairs of the Xiao Family, in which she had no say.

Xiao Jinfeng nodded, “You’re right.”

“In fact, though your eldest brother owns that much, he may have no time to cultivate it!” Mu Shuyu said.

“I think he may let it out. Actually, I don’t think eldest brother has tried cultivating farmland,” said Xiao Jinfeng.

Mu Shuyu stared at Xiao Jinfeng surprisedly, “With a cultivation of level five in Qi Practice, your eldest brother actually hasn’t tried cultivating farmland yet?”

Xiao Jinfeng nodded, “Yes!”

Mu Shuyu was stunned at once, and Xiao Jinfeng went on enviously, “Since my eldest brother used to live a carefree life, he didn’t need to cultivate land. Our parents always think that, eldest brother needs to be more powerful before he begins to devote himself into farmland cultivation.”

“Really? Stop talking about him,” said Mu Shuyu. Recalling that Xiao Qingyan was so furious that day when the thing about the Heaven Wealth and Land Treasure was mentioned, Mu Shuyu just felt amused and vexed.

Xiao Jinfeng probably was in an irritable mood; he took out a jar of wine and started drinking. “Third brother is generous enough, since he has given me so much spiritual wine. But recently, it’s just consumed without replenishment and getting less and less every day, so disturbing it is.”

Looking at Xiao Jinfeng’s appearance of pity, Mu Shuyu said helplessly, “You’d better drink less every day.”

Xiao Linfeng smiled embarrassedly, “I’d love to, but I can’t help it.”

“That’s you!” Mu Shuyu said jokingly and shook his head.

…………

In the morning.

Xiao Xiaodong was holding Xiao Xiaofan’s hand and they were walking together towards Xiao Chengfeng’s secondary house.

Xiao Xiaofan’s face reddened with excitement, and he was bouncing when walking, “Brother, I will do it later.”

“Good. It’s up to you. If she will refuse you when you ask our eldest aunt for money later, you can just act up and roll over, hug her leg and give her a bite…” Xiao Xiaodong suggested.

Xiao Xiaofan winked his eyes and asked in confusion, “If I act up and roll over, hug her leg and give her a bite, then what will you do?”

Xiao Xiaodong cleared his throat and replied, “I will stand aside and cheer for you”.

Hearing that, Xiao Xiaofan didn’t understand and nodded, “Alright.”

Seeing Xiao Xiaofan agreed so readily, Xiao Xiaodong felt kind of guilty.

After Liu Xian promised to pay the money, Xiao Jingting just couldn’t forget that two thousand taels of silver. He wasn’t afraid that Liu Xian would be bilking; he just worried that a long delay would cause trouble, and only actually obtaining the money would reassure him.

Generally, the debtor was more like the boss. And in his previous life, Xiao Jingting had lent money to others and had learned the difficulty of dunning debts, of which only himself could feel the pain.

Considering it’s disgraceful to ask the money himself, Xiao Jingting thought of his two kids in a curious coincidence, and he just entrusted this glorious yet difficult task to the two kids.

Since Xiao Xiaofan had hardly ever been assigned duties by his father, he felt very excited when he got this task, so he beat his chest and promised he would fulfil the task, which made Xiao Jingting, who was using child labor, be quite shamed.

“Here we are.” Xiao Xiaodong took Xiao Xiaofan to the gate of Xiao Chengfeng’s secondary house.

Xiao Xiaofan nodded, and said happily, “Let me knock.”

After a while, a guard came to open the door, and seeing the visitors were two children, the guard gave them a smile.

“Childe Xiaodong, Childe Xiaofan, what are you doing here?”

Before, Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan had very low status in the Xiao family, and if this happened one year ago, the guard might have driven them away. But now, the guard had to force a smile to them pleasantly.

“We are here for the money.” Xiao Xiaofan came straight to the point with his hands on the hip.

“Two thousand taels of silver,” Xiao Xiaodong added.

Hearing the noise, Liu Xian came out of the door. When Xiao Xiaofan saw Liu Xian being out, he immediately rushed at her, just like a cat smelling fishiness; and he hugged her leg and shouted, “Granny, granny, two thousand taels of silver, two thousand taels of silver, I’m here for the money.”

Liu Xian hadn’t known the situation at the beginning, but after hearing what Xiao Xiaofan said, she understood at once, and quietly cursed Xiao Jingting for being so blasted and sending his two kids to dun debts early this morning.

Xiao Xiaofan was vigorously hugging and rubbing her leg, which made Liu Xian get angry.

“Here it is…two thousand taels.” Liu Xian impatiently gave the bank notes to Xiao Xiaofan.

Xiao Xiaofan accepted the bank notes and right away and gave them to Xiao Xiaodong happily, “Brother, check it and see if we’re fully paid.”

Liu Xian looked at Xiao Xiaofan’s miser-like expression with contempt.

Xiao Xiaodong counted the bank notes over and over again and then affirmed, “We’re fully paid; it’s exactly two thousand taels here.”

Liu Xian sneered and said to herself: fools! How could I pay you less? Xiao Jingting was just a bastard, the fine was only fifteen hundred taels, but he had dunned me for two thousand taels, he was thick-skinned enough.

After hearing Xiao Xiaodong’s words, Xiao Xiaofan once again rushed at Liu Xian and hugged her leg, “Granny, granny, red envelope, give me red envelope.”

Liu Xian gnashed her teeth and thought, haven’t they got enough with five hundred taels more of fine? They should dare to ask for red envelope.

Seeing Liu Xian’s terrible look, Xiao Xiaofan lay down and rolled over on the ground straightway, and a cry rose from his throat, “Give me red envelope, give me red envelope…”
